Editing Talk:566: Matrix Revisited

In panel #9, the characters are upside-down and the colors are inverted. Films are produced on negatives, which invert the colors, and are threaded through the projector upside-down (the lens turns the image right-side-up again when projected). This could mean that, instead of merely being in a "non-existent dimension," the characters have gone WAY out of the Matrix and now see themselves to be what they truly are: images on film. (If this was Randall's intention, he might have made it more clear by including the sprocket holes.) [[User:Shanek|Shanek]] ([[User talk:Shanek|talk]]) 12:08, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
:Regardless of the lack of sprocket holes, I think this is an excellent insight and I will add it to the explanation. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.219.223|108.162.219.223]] 00:41, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Panels 12-13 could also suggest that Neo can't comply with the "please remove any metallic items" instruction because he has metal balls. [[User:Saibot84|Saibot84]] ([[User talk:Saibot84|talk]]) 08:35, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

I wonder if the sequel bit implies of how the entire movie is supposed to make you just accept things as they are no matter how messed up, and people voluntarily ignore the existence of the sequels, which is the exact opposite of the philosophy that the movie encourages.  [[User: AndyZ|AndyZ]]
:Actually the Matrix was all about remaking the originals.
:Something Holywoodland does every 5 or 10 years. They can even slip history 80 to 120 degrees west if they think the audience is really stupid.

Can someone explain panel #16?  What exactly is happening offstage here? [[Special:Contributions/108.162.221.93|108.162.221.93]] 23:04, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
:Ostensibly the two people are inflicting violence upon the person who suggested putting the other two Matrix movies on (hence why his seat is empty in the last panel). He probably should have just stuck with The Second Renaissance.  -Pennpenn [[Special:Contributions/108.162.250.162|108.162.250.162]] 06:51, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

-I believe that, if one were to take both the red and blue pills, they would wake up the next morning with no memory of the encounter, then they would be removed from the matrix.[[User:HisHighestMinion|HisHighestMinion]] ([[User talk:HisHighestMinion|talk]]) 20:47, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

-:It is a quite weak link, I agree. I personally would put it into trivia, and also do a link of the comics the other way round. [[1978]] doesn't mention this one at all. --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 07:10, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
